Satay peanut sauce with red curry

Recipes Sauces and Gravies
The secret to perfect peanut sauce is 'oil separation'. This is not a mistake, but the goal: when the fat from the coconut milk and curry paste separates from the thick mass and glistens on the surface, we have reached that intense, roasted flavour profile that accompanies authentic satay skewers. This sauce is salty, sweet, sour and spicy all at once – covering the entire flavour spectrum.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Small frying pan or saucepan
  • Whisk

Allergen Information

⚠️ Peanuts
⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Crustaceans (often in red curry paste)

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat the oil in a small saucepan and fry the curry paste for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Tip: Heat 'smooths out' the taste of raw aromatics (onion, garlic, chilli) in the paste.
2 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk and whisk until smooth with the paste.

Tip: Use a whisk so no red fat droplets remain separate.
3 ✓

Stir in the peanut butter and sugar.

Tip: Sugar helps balance the heat of the curry paste.
4 ✓

Simmer on a low heat, stirring continuously for 5-8 minutes until thickened.

Tip: Due to the sugar and fat in peanut butter, it burns very easily, do not leave it unattended!
5 ✓

Remove from heat and season with soya sauce and lime juice.

Tip: The acidity of lime freshens the heavy, rich cream. Only add it at the end so the aroma doesn't cook off.

Recipe FAQ

What makes it too thick?
The fibres and starch in the peanuts absorb water as it cools. Thin with warm water or coconut milk before serving.
Can I use roasted salted peanuts?
Yes, if you grind them, but be careful with salt at the end!
